i have a malibu stealth 12 as a backup that i mostly loan to friends. the thing takes on so much bloody water its ridiculous.
the front hatch is gigantic. more surface area=more places to leak.
the straps/bungees that are supposed to hold it down do not hold it down tight whatsoever. one wave on the nose and here comes the deluge.
the side hatches are a complete waste of space. why even put them in if NONE of them are watertight?
i think malibu really needs to do some redesigns for 2015
and just so this post isnt completely negative....
the stone color is cool
it tracks well
the drink holder is nice
should i ever buy another kayak, it will not be a stealth 12
